The Rangers sweep the mighty Red Sox

The 2011 Red Sox have been touted as one of the great run-scoring machines in history, but it was the Rangers who put on a tremendous show of power in this series. Kinsler and Cruz each homered in every game of the series. That's the first time in baseball history that two teamates have both homered in each of their team's first three games!

That Nelson Cruz must be one strong dude, because he reached the upper deck in the opposite field, and that's the kind of thing you would expect only from super-human guys like Bo Jackson. Cruz has been around since 2005, but has never had 500 at-bats in a season. Last year he had a .950 OPS. which was not that much lower than Josh Hamilton's. You have to wonder what he might do if he ever manages to stay in the line-up.
